Shape the home, choose the materials, and see budget, savings and value before we prepare a fixed quote.
This is a planning estimate. We confirm fixed pricing after review.
The planner turns a few choices into an early budget using real UK construction cost bands. Here is how it reaches a number, and how to read what it gives back.
Start with the type of work, from a new private build to an extension, renovation or focused improvement.
Select a house character, from a period terrace to a country manor. It sets the look and nudges cost in a realistic direction.
Bedrooms, storeys and scope give an estimated floor area, which is the single biggest cost driver on any build.
Pick the market segment, from mid-range to prime, then the key materials. Each choice moves the figure up or down.
Tell us what matters most, such as cost certainty or lower running costs. It shapes the value score and the savings we flag.
See a concept view, a schematic floor plan and a written brief, then send it to start a real conversation.
We start from a base cost band for the project type, then adjust for size, market segment, materials, scope and site complexity. The result is expressed as a range and a rate per square metre, the figure builders and surveyors use to compare schemes.
Most build costs scale with size. We estimate area from bedrooms, storeys and scope.
Mid-range sits near GBP 2,500 to 3,200 per m2. Luxury and prime run well above that.
Access, ground conditions, planning and heritage constraints all add cost and risk.
Roof, external walls, windows, kitchen and bathrooms each shift the rate per m2.
London and prime postcodes carry higher labour, parking and logistics costs.
Fixed scope and steady decisions reduce standing time, storage and re-work.
A low to high band rather than a single number. Early budgets always carry a spread until design and survey narrow them.
A simple read on how well the plan balances cost, durability and resale, out of 100. Higher means a stronger spend to value position.
Realistic room to value engineer before tender, shown as a range. It is not a discount, it is avoided waste.
No. It is a planning estimate. We confirm fixed pricing after a site review and a design conversation.
It is indicative. It is built from real UK cost bands, but it cannot yet see your site, ground conditions or planning position.
Total build cost divided by floor area. It is the quickest way to compare specification levels across UK construction.
Treat the range as construction cost. We set out professional fees, VAT guidance and contingency in a written quote.
Floor area and specification level, followed by site complexity and location.
This planner gives indicative guidance only. It is not a quotation, a valuation or a contract. We confirm scope and fixed pricing in writing after a site review.
Tell us what you are planning and we will guide you through the next step, from feasibility note to fixed quote in under two weeks.
